Whether you've just started bird-watching or you are an advanced "birder," consider heading outdoors over the next few weeks to help gather important data about birds during the 126th annual nationwide Audubon Christmas Bird Count.

Surprise your outdoorsy friends or family members with a Utah fishing or hunting license for Christmas or by paying for their registration fee for a hunting, fishing or bird-watching challenge! They make thoughtful presents, are easy to purchase, and can be used year-round.
